You've got me in stitches “After a short performance of the choir of Dolomites Rangers” Priceless Gee Some people will do anything for a vote Btw looks like the article’s been pulled | | | Angela Arnone Local time: 17:39 Member (2004) Italian to English + ... TOPIC STARTER I should hope so too! | Nov 30, 2005 |
I did write to them and ask them to consider getting someone to revise it ... I'm still trying to figure out what on earth it was a typo for. Any ideas? Angela PS - it was spotted by some friends of mine at an embassy in Rome and they are now fighting over invites to President Ciampi's next cocktail party....

If you replace "mountain" with "mounting", the whole thing makes perfect sense.... (OK, sorry, maybe we need a "could be offensive" marker for the forums as well...) | |

The typo could either be "buck" (buck up) or Mr. excitement made an exceptionally good use of the V tablet. | | | Özden Arıkan Germany Local time: 17:39 Member English to Turkish + ... OK, I guess Charlie has spotted the typo correctly | Dec 1, 2005 |
